"I lied," the girl shouted again before dragging him along. "We need tae get out of this place completely else we remain here till eventide," she uttered, holding her sack which was filled with sticks and leaves she had seen while in the forest. She was aware of the heavy sack he took and the bow that he was holding with his other hand, but she didn't decide to help him.
Maverick was about to shout at the young girl but the quickness and strength in the way she dragged him away from where he stood and then the sting in his ankle which had suddenly increased and seemed to be manoeuvring to other places made him almost numb. He obliged, albeit unwillingly but he had no choice.
After a while, they were completely out of the forest.
